PORN star Stormy Daniels called a close friend after an alleged encounter with a newly married Donald Trump and claimed he chased her around a bedroom in his underpants.

Alana Evans, also an adult film star, told Megyn Kelly TODAY she received the call in 2006 after Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claimed to have partied with the future President.

Evans told the audience that it was the kind of image you just can’t forget.

“I answered my phone and asked how it went,” she told the show. “The visual I get has stuck with me for this entire time and I guess you guys will have to deal with it too.

“At that point, it was so much information for me that I really didn’t want to ask any more questions. It was enough of a statement at that point and I left it alone.”

It comes after a report on Friday claimed a lawyer for Mr Trump arranged to fork over $US130,000 (A$164,000) in hush money to Clifford a month before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about an alleged hook-up.

Michael Cohen, a longtime lawyer for The Trump Organization, set up the payment to Clifford after her lawyer negotiated a nondisclosure agreement, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Clifford alleged that the hook-up with Mr Trump took place in July 2006 after the pair met at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe — a year after Mr Trump married his third wife, Melania, the New York Post reports.

Evans also told the Daily Beast that she had been in the area at the time of the tournament and bumped into Clifford, then a close friend.

“Stormy said she met Donald Trump and then tells me about the golf tournament and how she’s supposed to hang out with him later that night, and she invited me. Stormy said Donald knew exactly who she was and wanted to meet her,” Evans said.

Later that evening she said Clifford had repeatedly called her and asked her to join them, though she refused, the publication reported.

“Stormy calls me four or five times, by the last two phone calls she’s with Donald [Trump] and I can hear him, and he’s talking through the phone to me saying, ‘Oh come on Alana, let’s have some fun! Let’s have some fun! Come to the party, we’re waiting for you’,” Evans told The Daily Beast.

The website said it had two other sources who had confirmed Clifford’s relationship with Mr Trump and it had been in talks with the adult actress prior to the November 2016 election about a story on the allegations.

The White House did not respond to the Beast’s request for comment but an official told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that they were “old, recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied prior to the election”.

The official wouldn’t answer questions about the reported deal with Clifford — who performed in about 150 porn films, including Good Will Humping, an XXX-rated spoof of the flick Good Will Hunting.

Mr Cohen wouldn’t talk about the alleged hefty payment but said in a statement: “President Trump once again vehemently denies any such occurrence as has Ms. Daniels.”

The President has repeatedly said that all of the more than a dozen women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct or assault are liars.

“This is now the second time that you are raising outlandish allegations against my client. You have attempted to perpetuate this false narrative for over a year; a narrative that has been consistently denied by all parties since at least 2011,” Mr Cohen added in his statement to the Wall Street Journal.

The paper previously reported that Clifford, 38, had huddled with ABC’s Good Morning America in 2016 about an appearance to discuss Mr Trump, citing people familiar with the matter.

Mr Cohen also sent a brief statement “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN” and signed by “Stormy Daniels” denying that she had a “sexual and/or romantic affair” with Mr Trump.

“Rumours that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false,” the statement said.
